Hanging Halloween Decoration,I found the free Halloween Alphabet on

Granny's enchanted Blog HEREAnd the clipart on pinterest,I cut each letter out and backed it on to orange card,

and re-cut the shape allowing a boarder, Then repeated it on black card.

All the clipart was cut out, them mounted on to contrasting coloured card, to make them stronger, I stuck a ribbon to the top of a strip of black card, and secured it in place with a slightly smaller strip of orange card.The letters were joined together by sticking them to a strip of card, slightly overlaying the letters.

Then I added the cute clipart, raised on foam pads.poking out from the BOO. It cost about €1.00 to make, and looks lovely hanging in the window.
